Liked that they offered low-sodium and regular soy sauce. My friend seemed to like her tempura shrimp over sushi rice. The bad: Did not like the vegetable yaki soba! Not good at all, weird texture and not like any I had ever tried before. The Japanese egg drop soup was not flavorful at all! Don't know if I would go back.

Grab a bowl, fill it with whatever you want from the noodles, veggies, and meats. Then slide around to the mix-your-own sauce section, and scoop whatever combo of flavors you might want (use more than you think, don't skimp!). Hand it off to the grillmaster, they'll cook it all up real quickly, and off you go with screaming hot and fresh saute. We're partial to lots of garlic and ginger water, a little bit of Mongolian sauce, and the spicy herb, but all up to you! For the rest of the buffet, I mean, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet in a smallish town. A lot depends on how busy it happens to be, and how quickly the food in the chafing pans is turning over. If it's slow and stuff sits, meh. If it's busier and/or you pick from the items that are fresher, pretty decent. Seriously though, the Mongolian grill section alone is worth the price of admission.

Do not miss this Buffet... and try not to get thrown off by the word Buffet. I went with a group of…read morefriends and wasn't sure what to expect. "Chinese buffet" usually has me running away. This was fresh, plentiful and clean. There is a Mongolian grill, (which means you put all the fresh vegetables, meats and sauces into a bowl and they grill them up for you), a huge Chinese "typical" buffet with so many rice choices and if that's not enough a sushi chef serving up sushi. There was no way to try it all. The best part....The price was only $14.99 for lunch. Unbelievable!! This is going to be my go to spot if only for the Mongolian station alone. Do not run from this fabulous buffet. FYI... drinks are not included.

Felt bad, but we made sure to put in our order, eat without making a mess, and leave. They have a sneeze guarded area where you can see all the options for the poke bowls, but you have to order everything at the kiosks. Make sure to scroll all the way down on your selections to see all the options/toppings. FOOD: ~Poke Bowls: I got the 2 protein option and my husband got the 3 protein option with rice. The salmon and tuna was solid (they were cubed), and the spicy tuna was the chopped and dressed type. The flavor and texture of the spicy tuna was good. ~Toppings: they have a bunch of different options for toppings where you can choose as many as you want, with only a few of them having a surcharge. ~~the ones we got were cucumber, edamame, green onion, ginger, crab salad (shredded kani), seaweed salad, garlic crisp, roasted seaweed, and fried onions. Everything was good ~Sauce (you can choose up to 2): got the standard sriracha mayo which was tasty ~Shrimp Shumai (3.5/5): standard - note they were deep fried ~Shrimp Tempura (4/5): solid - very crispy and good sized shrimp ~Thai Tea (3.8/5) with boba (2/5): thai tea had good flavor and just creamy enough. The boba was not good though. Overall, this place was good and better than I expected.

We could wax on about the addictive Tom…read moreaka soup, the authenticity delicious Bangkok street food style Chicken Satay, the (too) generous Sushi & Sashimi pieces and the sinfully good Mango Sticky Rice. Thai Tara had been our favorite place to dine in Williamsburg... ...until last night. There is one simple reason that it has fallen off our list: Outrageous prices that are constantly rising. We have visited this restaurant biweekly for the past year since we moved here and at least twice on every visit to Williamsburg since the restaurant opened. What we have noticed is that the prices are going up at a far higher rate than general inflation. We started to dine at Thai Tara when it first opened a few years ago when it cost us $40-50 per person. Slowly at first, it became an expensive treat. But last night we were handed a bill for $70 per person; for 3 of us, the bill came to was $215. Nothing extravagant. Three $6 beers, three appetizers and a few pieces of Sushi and Sashimi. And for the first time in memory, the sushi rice was not properly seasoned and sticky, which makes for a poorly prepared product. But this review is not about a single disappointing food experience which is certainly the exception. This is about the outrageous prices. It is our opinion that pure greed is on display here. They fill the restaurant several times over almost every evening. They won a Best Restaurant honor recently. So our guess is that the owners have figured that they can grab for more profit and if they lose a few patrons, no big deal. They just need to keep in mind that many of their close-by loyal neighbors who are on a retirement budget and frequented this establishment, and are coming to the same conclusion. Thai Tara is overtly overpriced. So sad to say "so long ", Thai Tara. You have priced yourselves out of our budget.

The bathrooms are always spotless, the lighting and music is always on and a variety is there. Sometimes we wait, but we are always greeted with urgency. My family is always taken care of by everyone. If you want more than just a place to eat. If you want an experience and a an opportunity to try a new place. Go during the day- it gets busy on tbe weekends. Thats what we want from our local businesses- amazing people. Be patient of its busy.

It also comes with two sides which could be: white rice, fried rice, brown rice, glass noodles, steamed vegetables, or a couple other options. It comes with homemade yum yum and spicy sauce as well. They also have dumplings and other Korean sides to pick from which are delicious. The service is always wonderful since this is a locally owned family operated restaurant.

I was provided with Sriracha, but if you slather it on, that's all you taste! Wife's bulgogi burrito was better, but all-in-all we weren't thrilled. When you factor in the difficulty of street parking downtown, and the price (2 lunch burritos with tip and tax were @ $45) I don't think we'd make a special effort to return.

Try out the calamari. Some of you may order a second round to make it your entire meal. My eyes…read moreand stomach immediately lock to calamari whenever I see it on the menu of any place. The calamari were crispy and came out hot and throwing a little something different since this place is a fusion of Mexican/Chinese it came with gyoza dipping sauce. The menu is filled with options that combine two different styles but if you are not feeling adventitious you can get the standard. For the main course I went with the Szechuan Surf & Turf Burrito. Yooooooo.......... I was like who... no what ..... why .... How did someone come up with this. It is like when you visit somewhere and have good food but you know you are visiting and will not have it again until you return. Hopefully the place is still open. So much flavor packed up and rolled by some angel's hands back in that kitchen. No hunting for shrimp as with some places when they tell there is shrimp in the selection. I am so glad we decided to eat there because you can tell this is the type of meal where eating it hot is the only way to do it justice. This place is not the first to have a fusion of foods, but I can say it does a better job than most. Richmond has some great eating spots and is quietly a foodie spot to check out.
